MACRO PAD / GUIDE

Using the macro pad

Your everyday actions, on buttons within reach.

From copy and paste to AI slash commands: focus the app or input field on your host, then use RunePad buttons. No companion app is needed on the host.

  1. 01Tap a shortcut

    Copy, paste or undo with a single tap.For example, Copy sends Command + C on Mac or Ctrl + C on Windows, following host settings.

  2. 02Enter a command

    Put frequently used text such as /compact on a button.Choose typing only or sending Enter after typing. Use an empty input field. Commands support ASCII letters, digits, spaces, / and -, up to 80 characters.

  3. 03Keep AI controls together

    Unofficial presets for Claude Code, Codex, Claude App and ChatGPT App.These presets target Mac. Voice buttons control host voice input using the Mac microphone; host voice features and shortcuts need setup. Built-in slash commands only type text; press Return to execute.

  4. 04Arrange your controls

    Resize and position buttons alongside a trackpad.Edit directly in the app. Adjust your layout to suit a regular or split keyboard.

  5. 05Switch for each task

    Organize browser, writing and AI controls into profiles.Save and switch layouts. Adding and exporting profiles requires Pro.

  6. 06Edit on the web, too

    Edit on a larger screen, then import the layout into the app with a QR code.The web editor is free. Configuration is processed in your browser, not uploaded. QR codes contain the settings themselves, so importing does not require a web lookup. Larger layouts can be transferred as JSON files.

Buttons change color while pressed. In Display settings, button feedback and touch trails can each be turned off.

“Switch to alphanumeric” requests an input-mode change before typing a command. It does not restore the previous mode afterward. Behavior depends on the host OS and IME settings.
